Kakepuku Catastrophe Day 1

As we watched, the wall of water swept across the Waikato, demolishing everything in its path. Grief overcame me as I realized all our families were caught up in that surge of debris. But I had to pull myself together and Survive! Sam, Caleb, Jimi and I, decided to make a shelter. After the tsunami there were a lot of fallen trees. We made a base ___ out of branches and cut logs. We covered it with more twigs for /\/\ support and added leaves to keep the inside dry. Caleb pointed out it was 4:47 already! We decided to split up; Jimi and Sam would unpack the bags while Caleb would help me collect dry wood and make the fire. At least he was supposed to. Caleb was just relaxing in the newly-made shelter. I tell him to get up and help. He complained he was tired but then realized we all were. Collecting wood and building is easier said than done. Caleb had a brainwave~~~~~~~. We could eat and gain more energy but we knew our weakness was from the mind, without family to soothe us. A few minutes after eating we carried on with our work. It was so tiring that when we finished and got back to the shelter, we got to sleep instantly.
